Chapter 172: Nobody? Or Famous?
Chapter 172: Nobody? Or Famous?
Evelyn immediately sent an email to Mosley, asking for a pay raise.
"I already know the secret of the RELIC chip. Don't try to fool me. If you continue to fool me, I will find another buyer for the RELIC chip.
I can get in touch with Arasaka Yorinobu, and I can get in touch with RELIC 2.0! Now I know that the biochip contains the memories of Johnny Silverhand.
I also know that you don't want ordinary memory, but this! You need it to contact Otto! So my request for a price increase is not too much, right?"
In the secret base of Internet monitoring, Ben was reading Evelyn's email and almost laughed out loud.
"Hahaha ~ You chose such a clown? Wait, wait, let me relax for a moment..." Ben held his stomach, his stomach hurt from laughing.
Mosley felt ashamed and annoyed, feeling insulted. He also blamed himself for choosing such a person.
Evelyn, oh Evelyn, your vision is long, but your life is short.
"Okay, stop laughing." Mosley stopped Ben. "She is just a doormat for the Voodoo Gang. You and I both know her fate."
"Hahaha." Ben continued laughing, "That's why I'm laughing at you!"
In order not to ruin the plan, Mosley could only endure Ben's ridicule and casually sent some comforting words to Evelyn. As for the price increase, just raise it, anyway, she won't live to get the money.
Evelyn was quite pleased with herself when she saw Mosley's reply, thinking that she was still a good negotiator, but she didn't realize that the other party didn't take her seriously at all.
Now it's time to plan and steal the RELIC chip. First, you need to find a middleman, and you need to find a middleman who is famous and not afraid of the company.
Evelyn immediately targeted Regina. Now Regina has become the person in charge of the entire Watson District and is responsible for the commissions of the entire Watson District.
As for why she didn't ask Wakako, I'm kidding, Wakako is a tough character and a loyal fan of Arasaka. Basically, she depends on Arasaka for her livelihood. Do you think she will steal Arasaka Yorinobu's RELIC or report Evelyn directly?
Please, there are more than one or two clients in Wakako Pit.
Unfortunately, Regina is an intelligence officer and is very good at judging people. She has seen many people like Evelyn. Not only is what she said unreliable, but she is also unreliable.
For the sake of profit, they will sell you out. Such people are short-sighted and don’t care whether you are a middleman or not. As long as the profit is in place, they will dare to sell you out.
Evelyn approached several middlemen in succession, but was rejected by all of them.
The old captain is still keeping an eye on Arasaka's medical unit and will not cause trouble for himself during this period of time.
The priest is a seasoned man who knows the unspoken rules of Night City. The leader of the Valentino gang was involved in Arasaka's plan to start a war. The priest originally wanted to save his life, but now he dares not save him.
Not to mention the matter of Evelyn, it was just like stroking the tiger's whiskers of Arasaka. It was really like Wu Dalang sucking milk and jumping up and down!
Dino, who lives in the city center, was born as a rock boy and dared to do any job. However, Evelyn looked down on him and thought he was unreliable.
Dakota did not participate in the commissions within the city, and she was unsure about the most mysterious Mr. Hands, so both of them gave up.
As for the Queen of the Afterlife, Roger, what a joke! If she knew that the personality imprint in RELIC was Johnny Silverhand, would it still be sold?
After much deliberation, Evelyn decided to look for the former Watson District leader, Dexter DeShawn.
First, he was famous and could find good people to carry out the mission. Second, he had committed a crime and escaped for several years, and now he urgently needed a big deal to build his reputation.
Third, Dexter's foundation in Night City is weak now, so he is a perfect scapegoat. If she can make an agreement with the mercenary and trick him, she may not even have to pay the commission fee. So Evelyn found Dexter.
Dexter is also a smart guy. He has been in Night City for so long, but he has never fired a shot from childhood to adulthood. He relies on his emotional intelligence and his eloquence.
How could he not see Evelyn's thoughts? He just believed in his own personal charm and believed that the mercenary he had chosen would not betray him.
In addition, Dexter really needs a big deal to make a name for himself. Speaking of big deals, what could be bigger than stealing Arasaka Yorinobu's things?
As long as the thing is done, the reputation will be huge.
All I can say is that Dexter has been away from Night City for a few years, and now the situation in Night City has completely changed. If he hadn't run away before, he might have been able to smell the crisis inside. Unfortunately... he deserves to be the scapegoat.
After the deal was settled, Evelyn went to the Blue Azure Building to record Mewtwo, while Dexter set out to find a reliable mercenary.
Somehow, Dexter took a liking to Vincent at first sight, so he invited Vincent into the car to talk about taking the commission.
"Hello, Mr. Vincent. Do you mind if I smoke?" Dexter said to Vincent warmly.
Vincent looked at the fat black man in front of him. Dexter had approached him before, but he said he needed to think about it and declined.
I chatted with my good friend Jack while drinking. I didn't expect Jack to be quite respectful of this fat black guy. He even called him "Black Fat Jesus".
Vincent immediately felt that this deal was negotiable, so he got into Dexter's car and prepared to talk to him.
Dexter is nice and considerate of other people's feelings, which is a plus. There are not many such people in Night City.
"No, I don't mind. Dexter Deshawn, the famous middleman, is better seen than heard."
"Haha, that's good." Dexter then lit up his cigar and said to the driver, "Drive."
Dexter looked at Vincent and said, "Before we get down to business, let me ask you something else. Would you rather be a nobody, live a peaceful life, and die in bed with a catheter inserted?
Or do you want to leave your name in history even if you don't live past 30?"
Vincent remembered that Jack had been asking him to rejoin the team yesterday, but he refused because he felt that he was not famous enough and didn't want to be a burden to them.
Thinking about what Jack said when he was drunk.
'Do something big! Do something big!'
Vincent immediately said: "There are only two results in Night City, either you stand out or you lie in the grave, there is no other choice.
And I just don’t like slow suicide.”
Dexter was very satisfied to hear Vincent's words.
"Listen carefully, I just got a big job. Compared to cleaning up the scavengers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime job. There's a biochip, and I need you to get it for me.
There's just one small problem. We have a key item called a crew cut, and it's in the hands of the Uzumaki gang.
Don't worry, I've already paid. It's just that they changed the faucet recently, and I don't know whether they will acknowledge it or not.
All I want is the tool. I don’t care what you do with it, whether you buy it or take it back.”
As he spoke, Dexter handed the chip to Vincent.
"Are you going to test me?" Vincent took the separation chip and said, "OK, I'll do it."
